If they ever give cave and cavern cert that is a blast I was actually working on my divemaster when had to go to the IO
I have my YMCA silver star advanced(had to do it over the summer out of school but did it with Mike) and we got some limited cavern training. Also most of the springs in central FL are basically caves that you can get out of easily so anyone can dive in them. I don't know about true cave or wreck diving.
What's the IO Wayne?

Indian Ocean I was in the navy and got transferred to a ship that was deploying. It is strange in a true cave that is total black one thing I got from that diving is the extra long aux reg hose so you can share a tank and swim one in front of the other. I use it more now for my kids to do dives with me they can swim under me and just ahead so I have complete control of them. they have been swimming with scuba since they were 6. Now the oldest and Joy are suppose to get Cert before our trip to Mexico

Ok so you weren't sent to the Instant Ocean
Very cool about the kids
The instructors at MTSU basically use cave rigs. Backplates with bladders and instead of the long Octo hose they use a really long primary wrapped around the body in case you need to give that to someone and their Otco hangs around their neck so they can just grab it themselves with their mouth.
Mike also really stresses the frog kick which I am glad he did.
Hard to get at first but once you do a much more efficient kick for just tooling around and of course it won't stir up the bottom.

Ya I agree I think they should teach it for everyone, it helps when diving lakes that have murky bottoms. We should get a dive trip for the club to go some place in FL. A few Expeditions a few cases of beer and dive gear on a road trip what a blast. I know there is some place you can dive/snorkel with manities I think that would be fun too. Of course I relate with them on there size.
